Mission Immersion Experience

What is a Missionary Immersion Experience?► PreambleThe Church on earth is by its very nature missionary since, according to the plan of the Father, it has its origin in the mission of the Son and the Holy Spirit.(Vatican II: Ad Gentes) By Baptism the faithful are called to be missionary. Current mission education, in its theology and practice, strives to bring forth the missionary dimensions of every Christian vocation.

► DefinitionA mission immersion experience is service-learning evangelization. What we are, more than what we do, reveals to others God’s love. Leaving normal daily life behind for a short time, we become witnesses and a presence to another people and culture and see with new eyes. Participants not only discover the others’ world but also their own need for on-going, personal conversion.
